Few Xbox gaming headsets left us as awestruck as Turtle Beach's Stealth 700 (Gen 3). This headset puts nearly all of its competition to shame with immaculate playback quality, a cavernous soundscape, a wealth of audio mixing features, and tight ergonomics.
What's more, its industry-beating MSRP of $199.99 has been reduced to $134.99 at Amazon, making its expensive tech a better value for money compared to similar premium headsets that cost way more in the $200+ range.
Why spend money on the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 (Gen 3)?
What makes the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 (Gen 3) one of the best Xbox gaming headsets is its impressive sound delivered through 60mm "Eclipse" dual audio drivers. When these drivers kick in, it will enthrall your ears with rich audio levels and soundscapes so immersive that it will make you feel you're actually in the level of whatever game you're playing.
This headset also features natural closed-back isolation to block out background noise, and customizable sound profiles that can be adjusted to your liking.
On top of that, the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 (Gen 3) has a monstrous battery life of 80 hours, memory-foam cushioned earcups to keep your ears comfy, and simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connectivity and audio mixing between Xbox and PC so you can play games while chatting with friends on Discord.
Granted, its mic doesn't have the greatest input audio in the world, and its firmware update can be convoluted. But those are minor nitpicks that should not deter you at all from picking this incredible gaming headset, especially now that it's on special offer for $134.99 at Amazon.
